Planet Art

In conjunction with the visit by His Holiness the Dalai Lama for the Seeds of Compassion conference in Seattle (2009), this project involved elementary aged children participating in after school programs provided by Arts Corps. The children created animals out of wire, fabric and found objects. They participated in discussions about the fate of our planet and the animals that inhabit it, including people. The animals where assembled in a collaborative work that included the children’s dreams and wishes for compassion towards all life on planet earth and was displayed during the 5-day event.
